Ignore Government Spokespeople Poem by Francis Duggan

Ignore Government Spokespeople their success depends on the spreading of fear
And they only tell you what they want you to hear
To them to mislead is not to deceive
And a bigger fool you if them you believe
Few of their kind trustworthy that seems sad to say
Though for leadership we always do look their way
Their addiction to power is not a healthy thing
Yet many too many their praises do sing
The lies that they tell they cannot take back
The Tampa in Australia the war in Iraq
I am fully convinced they believe their own lies
Why should I respect any crooks in disguise
For them 'tis so easy so easy to lie
But because of them many poor people must die.
